The Youngest Assassin Is a Swordsman Genius

Episode 9

Surprisingly, Brooks raised his bedside sword and blocked the attack.

As an outstanding talent, he responded immediately even while he was sleeping soundly.

“What kind of guy are you?”

Paralock!

He quickly got out of bed and straightened his posture.

Unexpectedly agile reaction speed and movement.

It’s been a long time since I retired, but it seems that the basics haven’t gone anywhere.

‘This would be difficult.’

Since the assassination failed, it was not an easy target to kill.

Brooks was originally a super strong man who made quite a name for himself.

Even if he lost his right arm, he could easily deal with me.

‘There’s no choice in the silent killing method. I have to bring out a higher secret skill.’

I was learning the secret of the family, Maryun Killing (魔侖殺), the next step in the silent killing method.

However, in order to properly cast this, a minimum level of 4 tiers was required.

As I am only in Tier 5, I couldn’t fully unfold it.

However, it is not possible to bring out Riverrun’s secret technique here.

‘It gets too loud. I have to fight the game somehow.’

If I just backed out of here, there would be no next chance.

Brooks will disappear, and the Government General’s security will be further strengthened in the future.

The thought was long, but the judgment was short.

Whiririk! Sureureung!

When the black dragon sword pulled out was exposed to the moonlight, a strange sheen flowed.

“Hoo! An assassin and a sword? hehehe! That’s interesting.”

Brooks let out a sneer when he saw my weapon.

Speaking of swords in the Revyus continent, the place that immediately comes to mind is the Felton family.

The guy’s eyes were so funny.

‘What, are you paying attention?’

If you do something stupid on your own, it’s natural to take it lightly.

As I raised my aura, dark and sticky energy wrapped around the black dragon sword.

The moonlight that stayed on the sword body disappeared without a trace, and even the signs of developing swordsmanship evaporated.

Swoop.

Before I knew it, my sword was getting close to Brooks.

“Uhhhhh!”

Whoa!

Then the opponent twisted his body in admiration.

He supported the sword with his shoulder and barely blocked the attack.

It felt as if he was using his whole body to perform half-swording swordsmanship.

‘ah! What a waste!’

I managed to stop the horse with a clever move, but the guy’s condition was not so perfect.

Since the aura-infused sword was supported on his shoulder, there was no way his skin would be intact.

But from now on, I would be in a dangerous situation.

Brooks will never be vigilant in the future.

“This, this technique?”

Fukang!

I jumped at the guy who was trying to say something and started pouring sword strikes.

Perhaps the blow I just made made Brooks vaguely aware of my true identity.

Because there was only one organization that had such a brutal killing method.

Caang! Kang!

I, who had not yet been able to cast Maryunsal in succession, unleashed the Silent Style Fire Sword.

However, the opponent soon showed a stable defensive technique.

‘Even though he is a left hand, the Chukseon Sword method is not awkward. Retirement is bullshit and was he in rehab?’

Chukseongeombeop was the best swordsmanship in the Felton family.

But there was a subtle gap.

Perhaps it is because of the unbalanced body.

It was the same with this guy who was at a disadvantage as time went on.

Because each time they clashed, his posture was breaking down little by little.

“He’s an unknown guy. He uses swordsmanship he’s never heard of before, but his perfection is so high! Who the hell are you?”

“…”

Swoop. Quaching!

My opponent threw a question, but I kept my mouth shut and focused only on my swordsmanship.

Of course, I was cursing the guy who said things that didn’t even make sense.

‘If you’re going to tell me that, why would you wear a mask and sneak in? This bastard is surprisingly stupid.’

When there was no response, Brooks also immediately immersed himself in the battle.

It was because the confrontation was unfolding too close to take a break.

We exchanged attacks and defenses for a considerable amount of time, but I couldn’t land the final blow.

The difference in the basic realm was so great that it was just an endless exchange of numbers.

‘At this rate, the Feltons will attack.’

If there was such a big uproar, the members of the guards around the Government-General would have noticed.

My heart couldn’t help but be impatient.

‘Let’s increase the odds.’

Damn!

First of all, I quickly swung the black dragon sword and widened the distance.

Then I began to draw out my true strength.

Gee-in! Push profit!

As the black dragon sword turned dark blue, a sound like steam was heard.

As he pushed his sword forward, the power of the aura and mana trapped inside was released through the sword.

Shwaaagh!

The small dark blue aura turned into a large disk.

The three-second Dancheon lunar eclipse of Dancheongu Hwagum unfolded.

The opponent sensed the sword attack with their waist and quickly flew away.

“Uhhhhh!”

However, it was not possible to completely avoid the flashes fired at high speed.

In the end, Brooks had to block the sword attack with only his left arm.

Sweeping! Parss. Dududuk!

As the blue disc passed, all objects within its range were clipped away.

Not to mention the building of the mansion, even the furnishings inside were in good condition.

Hard!

However, thanks to the horizontal sword strike, the mansion did not collapse.

The walls and pillars are snipped off, just maintaining a precarious balance.

It was never a normal situation.

Even a small shock would probably cause it to collapse.

Peace Sss!

“Keuuugh!”

In the end, Brooks was unable to completely prevent a monolunar eclipse.

The sword body was cut in half and was scattered on the floor, and the left arm was limp and limp.

However, my condition was not very good either.

At the last moment, while trying to block the opponent’s Cheokseon Sword, he suffered considerable internal injuries.

Clutching my stomach, I knelt on one knee on the floor.

Still, it was a better situation than that enemy.

At least this wound won’t lead to death.

“This…….”

“It’s the technique that took your right arm away.”

Eighteen years ago, Lee Ja lost his right arm in a fight with an elder of Riverrun.

As if remembering that time, Brooks glared at me with her eyes wide open.

Losing an arm again to the same technique should come as a surprise.

That’s also the secret of Riverrun, which has gone extinct.

“How does a guy who uses Landsvalger’s killing method know Riverrun’s secret technique?”

Immediately after the war, the Felton Swordsman devoted all their energy to subjugating the descendants of Riverrun.

For subjugation of remnants and stabilization of the Riverrun region, even non-mundo family members were brutally executed.

Such extinction attempts continued for over five years.

The territories divided into 4, the direct descendents who were annihilated, and the swordsmanship that only remained in form.

There are probably few people who can use the true secret technique of Riverrun.

Brooks had an expression of disbelief even after experiencing it himself.

I said as I approached the opponent who was gasping for breath.

“You’ll know when you go to hell, but why are you so curious about it? It’s just fine.”

Swoop. Fu-wook!

The black dragon sword pierced the opponent’s throat before he could say anything.

“Keuheugh!”

In addition to losing both arms, he was unable to stop the silent killing method while suffering internal injuries.

Unless you hold the sword in your mouth and swing it.

Spit. Crush!

When the sword was pulled out, there was no sound.

Only the noise of blood pouring fills the surroundings.

Brooks, who stumbled for a while, soon fell backwards and passed away.

Ride on!

“What’s up? Mr. Brooks!”

But just then, along with the footsteps of several people, a voice searching for him was heard.

It seemed that the crew had sensed the commotion and had approached Brooks’ room.

‘You’re reacting faster than I thought? But it’s already over. Foolish Feltons.’

I went out of the mansion through the window and disappeared like a ghost.

Lee Hyeong-eun practiced occultism and disappeared.

thump thump!

The sound of the crew knocking on Brooks’ door belatedly rang through the night.

“Very! Well done. It was quite a difficult mission for a first class, but I didn’t expect to finish it this quickly.”

When I returned to the Eastern branch of the Empire, Dusk greeted me with a big smile.

The head of the branch had already confirmed the success of the mission through the assassination team, but posted a separate report.

I don’t have such a steady image, but it was because I had something I was aiming for.

“Here’s the mission report.”

“There’s no need to look, but where should I check? Hmm. Internal injuries?”

“I’m sorry, but I’ve come all the way to the Empire, so shouldn’t I take a break? I heard that there are so many beauties in the East.”

“Is that right! There’s nothing better than art when you’re resting. Even in my childhood, I was a nice guy who was recognized around here.”

“…”

At Dusk’s words, I put on an absurd expression.

It was in front of my direct superior, but I still felt like I had to say something.

Otherwise, that old man might get caught in a delusion and wander around to enjoy art.

With that nasty impression.

“That…… you usually look in the mirror, don’t you? I don’t think the branch manager will be very popular.”

“You son of a bitch! You talk like that because your face is a bit smooth. Men aren’t judged only by their looks!”

“Still, it’s true that it’s a significant proportion, right? I’m being reported to the police for talking to a woman for no reason.”

“…”

This time, Dusk was at a loss for words at the heavy factual assault.

“Are you going to take a vacation?”

“Hee hee. Just kidding. Give me two months.”

“Whoa. This generous body has to endure it. I don’t want to look like that, so go quickly.”

“Didn’t you really like it until just now?”

“Do you keep throwing up? Get out of here!”

“Yep, good job.”

The Landswalger assassination squad provided a sufficient level of rest to its agents after the murder.

It was to prevent getting caught in any case and to treat the wounds sustained during the mission.

Most of the time, in these cases, I would lock myself in the safe house, but I had no intention of doing that.

Now is the time to realize your next plan.

‘I definitely felt it against Brooks. Perhaps thanks to the fierce battles, the stage has risen to Tier 4. I’ll have to move slowly.’

Right after leaving Dusk’s office, I prepared to leave.

Departing from the Marquis of Pennant, I crossed the Deisol Wasteland and moved all the way east.

After passing through this vast wilderness, the Forest of the Dead appears.

‘There is the Tower of Esmaranta there.’

An unknown building shrouded in mystery as to who built it and when it was built.

It was a place no one would have known if the traveler Esmaranta hadn’t found it ten years ago.

“Those who pass through the tower will get something powerful. Instead, they will have to risk their lives.”

In front of the tower, there was a tombstone made by Esmaranta.

It was produced by the first discoverer who realized the danger to warn him to be careful.

Of course, there was no way adventurers would listen to such a warning.

I looked up at the tall building.

It is famous enough to be known by all the powerful people on the continent, but the appearance of the tower was far from glamorous.

However, the purple flashes that filled the entrance had the power to stimulate curiosity.

‘All I have to do is overcome the ordeal.’

Having made up my mind, I moved slowly.
